Made in Illinois / Glenn Gordon 112 p.
Glenn Gordon writes lyrically about the many craftsmen (and women) who reside in Illinois. Gorgeous works in wood, precious metals, clay, bronze, even eggs are created daily in every region. Meet Art Towata of Alton who works in clay that is fired at such a high temperature that it sings when you run your fingers around the rim. Daryl Meier is a master of Damascus steel, steel formed with many thin layers are forged together. Former Governor Thompson made a gift of one of Meier's Bowie knives to former President George H. Bush. Way cool to see what individuals create.
